Popular actress Nithya Menen has been allegedly involved in a controversy regarding her recent travel from Hyderabad. It has been alleged that the actress travelled in the cockpit area of Air India's Hyderabad to Bangalore flight.

Except the pilots, no one is allowed in the cockpit area, but the pilots of the flight gave her a seat of the observer inside the cockpit. A passenger who observed this filed a complaint with the authorities and they have now placed the pilots under suspension.
